Two Groundcovers: One for Wet, One for Dry

get healthy living updates

Determined to come up with a groundcover to replace my lawn, I searched for, and found, a groundcover that would work well (and look pretty) in upstate New York where I live. Meanwhile, I know a lot of you live in desert conditions, instead, and for you a lawn is even more costly to the environment than it is for northerners. So I found a groundcover for you, too. In fact, I found 10!

I just bought a pound of creeping thyme as the ground cover to start replacing my lawn. It is a lovely, low-growing plant
with a purple bloom that will keep blooming all summer. It even takes well to being walked on. Here is some good
background information about creeping thyme.

Did I miss something? The article said "Two Groundcovers, One Wet, One Dry". It gave info on the dry groundcovers, what about the wet groundcovers? I have some low spots in my yard and I would have like to have read about the wet-tolerant ground covers......guess I'll have to look it up elsewhere.
